Canon D30 vs Fujifilm S4200

Below is a thorough analysis of the Canon D30 versus Fujifilm S4200, one being a Advanced DSLR and the other is a Small Sensor Superzoom by brands Canon and FujiFilm. There exists a significant gap among the image resolutions of the D30 (3MP) and Fujifilm S4200 (14MP) and the D30 (APS-C) and Fujifilm S4200 (1/2.3") posses totally different sensor sizes.

The D30 was introduced 12 years earlier than the Fujifilm S4200 and that is a fairly sizable gap as far as camera technology is concerned. The two cameras feature different body design with the Canon D30 being a Mid-size SLR camera and the Fujifilm S4200 being a SLR-like (bridge) camera.

Before we go into a complete comparison, here is a brief highlight of how the D30 grades versus the Fujifilm S4200 in the way of portability, imaging, features and an overall grade.

The following is a sample of the gallery pictures for Canon EOS D30 and Fujifilm FinePix S4200. The whole galleries are available at Canon D30 Gallery and Fujifilm S4200 Gallery.

For anybody who is aiming to lug around your camera, you will want to think about its weight and proportions.

Remember that, the weight of an Interchangeable Lens Camera will change based on the lens you have attached at that moment. Here is a front view proportions comparison of the D30 vs the Fujifilm S4200.

Considering dimensions and weight, the portability grade of the D30 and Fujifilm S4200 is 57 and 67 respectively.

More often than not, it is hard to envision the gap in sensor measurements purely by researching technical specs. The photograph below might give you a clearer sense of the sensor sizing in the D30 and Fujifilm S4200.

As you can tell, both of those cameras feature different megapixels and different sensor measurements. The D30 with its larger sensor will make shooting bokeh easier and the Fujifilm S4200 will render greater detail using its extra 11MP. Greater resolution can also let you crop images way more aggressively. The older D30 will be disadvantaged when it comes to sensor technology.
